Sanaa, July 29 -- Yemen's Houthi armed group claimed Monday it had saved 11 and recovered a dead body of the crew members of the Eternity C, a Greek-operated bulk carrier that the group claimed to have attacked and sunk in the Red Sea in early July.
Two of the rescued were taken to hospital for treatment, the group said in a video footage broadcast by the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV, claiming that the company operating the bulk carrier "has several other ships dealing with Israeli ports ... including the HSL NIKE and the FAITH."
